13. An error detection system for early detection of errors in a plant or facilities, comprising: a hardware processor; a data acquiring unit that acquires data from a plurality of sensors; a trace division unit that divides a trace in a data space into a plurality of clusters over time on the basis of a temporal change of the data acquired by the data acquiring unit; wherein a trace in a data space represents the sensor data acquired over a period of time; wherein a data space represents attributes of sensor data; wherein each cluster corresponds to an operation state of the plant or facilities; a modeling unit that performs modeling in a sub space on the divided clusters corresponding to each operation state which is divided by the trace division unit; an error detection unit that calculates an discrepancy value as an error candidate based on the models of derived clusters which is modeled by the modeling unit; and a data display unit which displays the data on a time-series signal to make the divided clusters which is divided by the trace division unit evident to visualize a state.
